There are times when life presents challenges that can make us feel cornered, dissatisfied, or unable to cope. I am passionate about helping people navigate these challenges, heal, and grow as individuals, couples and families.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I work with Individuals, Couples and Families; specializing in Marital/Couple and Family Therapy. I have post graduate training in Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy. I bring a genuine compassion and understanding to the therapeutic process that I believe supports optimal healing and growth. In addition to various relationship challenges and struggles, my clinical focus also includes working with: Separation/ Divorce/ Divorce Reaction within the individual/couple/family, Parenting/Co-parenting Issues, Blended Family Issues, Parent/Child Relationships, Children & Adolescents, Anxiety & Depression, and Self Esteem Issues.

I have worked with kids and their families for over 25 years. My favorite children and teens are strong willed, capable, and smart (academic and/or common sense). I see kids ranging from 3 year old to college students. Some of the most common issues that I work with are ADD/ADHD, Oppositional/Defiant, Depression, Anxiety and Bipolar Disorders. Other general issues are poor social skills, difficulty with frustration, poor communication skills and parent-child conflict. Because so many of the families that I see are struggling with how get along easily, I prefer to include parents whenever possible.

Understanding through listening and then moving toward action create an ideal environment for change. I bring a positive and challenging approach to therapy. One of my strengths is aiding clients in identifying alternative perspectives and ways of behaving. Fundamentally, I believe our fears are often barriers to experiencing the growth and construtive relationships we all desire to have. Once we learn to face what we have been avoiding, alternatives generally present themselves allowing change to occur.

Living well should be about more than just coping with pain! So many of us struggle for years with anxiety, depression, loneliness, "scattered"-ness and difficulty finding and keeping good relationships.

As your partner in that process, my goal is to help you overcome obstacles and get tangible results that last!
